OPERATION OPERATION WITH CONTAINER CHASSIS Operation with container chassis Loading and unloading procedure A container chassis can be hitched to the MT for traffic in a terminal. The container chassis can be saddled and unsaddled like a semi-trailer on the MT, see “Fifth wheel coupling”...
OPERATION WINTER OPERATION Winter operation If you intend to operate the MT at low temperatures, a few precautionary measures and checks are necessary. Have the concentration of corrosion protection and anti- freeze agents in the engine coolant checked. Add anti-freeze agent to the windscreen washer water. Have the battery checked.
OPERATION MAINTENANCE Maintenance Regular maintenance retains the value of your MT. For cleaning, use commercially available vehicle care products from vehicle supply stores. Exterior vehicle care The best protection for the MT against hazardous environmental influences is washing and conserving the vehicle often.
TRANSPORT LOADING ONTO A FLATBED TRAILER Loading onto a flatbed trailer Flatbed trailers or rail carriages, for example, can be used to transport the MT over longer distances. Make sure that the transport units can carry the weight of the (see “Vehicle identification plate”...
TRANSPORT LOADING WITH A CRANE Loading with a crane The MT has sling points for loading by crane. Two sling eyes are located behind the driver's cabin and a third sling point is the tow hitch in the rear. Fig. 106: Sling points 11-C26-017-010A-6 Lifting Fig.
